Ooooops dont forget those Looooooooooooooooooooong stopping distances with skinny OE tyres and ancient tread, in the dry let alone wet. AND adding only 1/2 inches in rim width caused the skirts on my 56 not to fit. Thanks to radial sidewall bulge and the inherent sidesway that ocurrs when radial tyres do their thing in a sweeping (or fast) turn, the sidewall rubs on the skirt lip. yes , all this is FUN!
